Poco Apollo: Innsetning eftir Halldór Eldjárn í Mengi.
Frá klukkan 14 - 22.
Aðgangur ókeypis.
Viðburðurinn er hluti af tónlistarhátíðinni Myrkir músíkdagar sem hefst 26. janúar.
Poco Apollo, innsetning Halldórs Eldjárn byggir á stórmerkilegu ljósmyndasafni NASA (geimferðarstofnunar Bandaríkjanna) sem nýverið var gefið út og hefur að geyma í kringum 14.000 ljósmyndir sem teknar voru af geimförum Apollo-verkefnisins á árunum 1969 til 1972, ljósmyndir sem hafa að geyma dýrmæt augnablik af landnámi mannsins á tunglinu. Forrit sem Halldór hefur þróað greinir eðlisþætti og andrúmsloft ljósmyndanna og semur tónlist við það í rauntíma. Í Mengi mun tölva leika verkin, meðal annars á sjálfspilandi hljóðfæri, í handahófskenndri röð og hægt verður að virða fyrir sér myndirnar sem skópu hvert lag í leiðinni. Farnar verða örstuttar geimferðir og hægt er að kíkja við hvenær sem er milli klukkan 14 og 22.

A sound and visual installation by Halldór Eldjárn at Mengi.
From 2pm - 10pm.
Free entrance.
"Poco Apollo is a generative music installation. It builds upon NASA’s newly released library of pictures from the Apollo lunar missions. It feels as if you were on the moon yourself because these images are very raw snapshots, eagerly taken by curious astronauts with very limited time on this terra incognita. But in the chaos, each and one of these 14.000 pictures tells us a small story on it’s own. I wrote a computer program that looks at the image, gathers the data it can from the image to try and understand the mood of the picture and then composes a short music piece to accompany it. The Mengi installation will be a continuous showcase of these short musical pieces." (HE)
Halldór Eldjárn is an Icelandic musician and computer scientist. Mainly known for his electro-pop band Sykur, Halldór has been working on solo material and music installations. At Iceland Airwaves 2016 he debuted his solo show, where he combined live performance and his robotic instruments.

Food is and has always been deeply related to identity. From how a society's culture is embedded in food traditions and how a religious practice involves dietary rules, to individual choices in the light of the vegan revolution, one thing is sure: food plays a key role in how humans manifest their belief or lack of it in a certain idea.
TEDxReykjavik invites you to look at where we stand today both locally and globally as a human society.
Join our invitees through a 3 hour journey beyond food: Vigdís Andersen, Sigursteinn Másson and Benjamín Sigurgeirsson.
We will address climate change, animal rights, as well as the controversy around veganism in order to better understand what ethical stands might underlie our food related behavior. Take part in an open debate organized as part of the TEDxReykjavikSalon event while enjoying a cozy atmosphere provided by Listastofan. Moreover, you will have the chance to see Halla Gunnarsdóttir's breathtaking work. In her paintings, she raises awareness about climate change by visually challenging the borders between the human and the animal species: http://hallagunnarsdottir.com/. We will have surprises to enchant all of your senses! Soup, bread and hummus provided by Vínyl and fresh juices and spirulina energy balls from Yoga food, all included in the ticket price already. After all, what better way to be ethical than by way of food?
Here is the schedule:
18:00 - 19:15 - 1st session:
5 min introduction
15 min talk(s)
30 min moderated debate
25 min Q&A from the audience

19:45 - 21:00 - 2nd session:

Tónleikar Sinfóníunnar á Myrkum músíkdögum eru vettvangur fyrir nýja og spennandi íslenska tónlist í bland við erlend meistaraverk. Hér hljómar nýr víólukonsert eftir Hauk Tómasson, saminn fyrir Þórunni Ósk Marínósdóttur sem er leiðandi víóluleikari SÍ og meðal fremstu tónlistarmanna landsins. Einnig verður frumflutt nýtt hljómsveitarverk eftir Kristínu Þóru Haraldsdóttur en verk hennar, Water's Voice, vakti mikla eftirtekt á Tectonics-tónlistarhátíð SÍ árið 2015. Verk Úlfs Hanssonar var samið fyrir Fílharmóníuhljómsveit Franska útvarpsins í kjölfar þess að hann hlaut fyrstu verðlaun í flokki ungra tónskálda á Tónskáldaþinginu 2013. Doloroso eftir Atla Heimi Sveinsson er kyrrlátur huggunar- og saknaðarsöngur, og er tileinkað minningu Guðrúnar Katrínar Þorbergsdóttur forsetafrúar.
Breska tónskáldið Thomas Adès er einn virtasti tónlistarmaður samtímans. Hið glæsilega hljómsveitarverk hans, Polaris, er samið árið 2010. Það ber undirtitilinn „ferðalag fyrir hljómsveit“ og er innblásið af Pólstjörnunni eins og heitið gefur til kynna. Einn gagnrýnandi sagði eftir frumflutninginn að það væri „yfirgengilega fagurt“ og eru það orð að sönnu.

See you there!
Let us humbly offer a live concert of Sydney's Gordi - 22-year-old Sophie Payten. Her debut Jagjaguwar released EP, Clever Disguise, gets at it both ways - massive and personal music that doesn't concede an inch of artistic vision.
Raised in the small, farming community of Canowindra in New South Wales, amongst a minuscule population of 2381, Payten learned to play piano and guitar in her house -- with Billy Joel on near-constant rotation. She left the rural life in her late-teens to pursue a medical education in Sydney. The dichotomy of those environments -- the pastoral and the modern -- is surely a guiding influence in Gordi's music.
Clever Disguise was created with producer Ben McCarthy (Megan Washington), with additional production from Alex Somers (Sigur Ros) and Francois Tetaz (Gotye).
Gordi is performing at KEX Hostel with RuGl at KEX Hostel on January 26th at 9:00 PM.
The young and spectaular RuGl reached the final round of the Icelandic Battle of the Bands (Músíktilraunir) in 2016, where the band received favourable reviews for “importunate compositions” and “strikingly good vocal arrangements.” Their music is indie-inspired, soft and melodic with haunting lyrics.
RuGl was founded in early 2016 by two 14-year-old girls who are schoolfriends in the west of Reykjavík. Ragnheiður María Benediktsdóttir was born and raised in Iceland. She sings and plays piano and percussion. Guðlaug Fríða Helgadóttir Folkmann grew up in Denmark, Sweden and Iceland. She sings and plays guitar. They compose their music together and have been raising a stir with their simple and touching songs and arrangements.
This is a free show based on first come first serve basis.
